Shoujo Tsubaki Anime -

: Life in the circus is a cycle of extreme psychological, physical, and sexual abuse by the troupe members.

The most infamous chapter in its history occurred in the early 2000s. A copy of the film was submitted to the Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification. The board was so disturbed that they not only refused to rate the film but ordered all copies seized. A police raid on a Melbourne anime distributor resulted in the destruction of every VHS and DVD of Shoujo Tsubaki found on the premises. For many years, this made the film a "Holy Grail" of lost media, circulating only through nth-generation bootleg VHS transfers. shoujo tsubaki anime
